Finding Dominique Strauss-Kahn the Perfect Sublet on Craigslist

Photo via I.M.F./Wikipedia.A debilitating hitch in Dominique Strauss-Kahn’s court-approved escape from Rikers: according to Slate, Strauss-Kahn “had been expected to post bail Friday, but those plans appear to be on hold temporarily because his wife has been unable to find an apartment that is willing to have the former I.M.F. chief while he is under house arrest.”

Your blogger, a Manhattan resident, knows that finding a suitable living space on the island can be a nightmare. Craigslist can be helpful, though, and there a lot of undiscriminating people in the market for a new roommate.One BedStuy, Brooklyn, subletter writes, “I don’t really care what you do as long as you’re not insanely loud, clean up after yourself, don’t kill my cat, and pay rent on time.” Strauss-Kahn can probably avoid killing this cat.

Another potential roomie, this one based in Astoria, says that she and a new roommate “don’t have to be besties or anything, but I think being friendly and saying hello and whatnot makes for a happier living environment.” What about saying bonjour?

As long as Strauss-Kahn won’t contribute to “morning bathroom traffic,” this three-bedroom in Hells Kitchen sounds like a great deal. However, his potential new roomie warns, “I don’t care if you have people over as well as long as they are respectful as well and they don’t make a mess in the apt.” No more “leaving in a hurry” for Strauss-Kahn.

An Upper East Side gentleman is in search of a housemate and friend: “I do not know a ton of people here so it would be nice to have another person to go out with.” As Strauss-Kahn is under house arrest, he probably would not fill the bill, which is too bad, as this AMAZING King Size Room in GREAT Location available June 1st! boasts a “window looks into another buildings wall.”
